Forest Route 14S11 was a little narrower than I expected, but sure beats hiking up from the Grove. Blue skies all day long. Was in retrospect lucky to have seen the area before the massive fire later that summer... there were *many* dead trees.

A great day hike. Takes 4-6 hours depending on how long you check things out! great little summit to sit on and soak in the views. Mount Whitney and several other massive hills of the High Sierra and the Sierra Crest! 4000 ft vertical gain with beautiful views as your reward.
